Chapter Two: Rough Night

Harry had returned home like he told Tonks he would, but as he walked into the empty house, he felt more alone than he had ever been in his life. Why was it that he was suddenly feeling this way? It wasn't like he hadn't been alone for as long as he could remember. The fact was that even with his relatives in the house he was still alone.

Harry made his way up to his room and laid down on his bed. "Why do I feel this way now?" Nothing came to him as he slowly started to fall asleep still feeling that he was alone.

Harry found himself sitting in the middle of the park that he had visited the night before and as he sat there he couldn't help but feel there was something wrong. There was something in the night air that wasn't there the first time around, something to he couldn't put his finger on.

Harry continued to sit on the bench like he had before and took the bottle of vodka into his hand but, as he looked at the bottle, it had changed. It didn't say vodka on it any longer; now there was a skull and cross-bones on the bottle. Harry quickly threw the bottle down and it shattered on the sidewalk as a lady in her forties walked up the sidewalk that he just threw the bottle down on to.

"You shouldn't have done that." Came an old unfamiliar voice.

Harry looked up at the lady expecting it to be Tonks in disguise like it had been earlier, but this time it wasn't her. The woman in front of him was different some how. "Who are you?"

The woman looked at Harry and grinned. "Who I am isn't important, but what I have to say is. Harry you must now, more than ever, be careful about what you do, because your life is in mortal danger."

"No shit lady, tell me something I didn't already know." Harry said with a bit of rage in his tone.

"The danger doesn't lie in the Dark One chasing you Harry, it lies within yourself! If you aren't careful you will lose the internal battle that will come, and then there will be no hope for mankind!" The woman said as she disappeared in a brilliant white light.

"What in the bloody hell is that supposed to mean?" Harry asked, but the woman was already gone. Harry had to shield his eyes against the bright light that followed, as it was bright enough to blind him. When the light disappeared there was only a calm silence in its place. Not even the world around him seemed to make any noise as he looked at the spot that the woman had been standing. It was as if time itself had frozen around him, but Harry had no idea hat the lady meant, or who she was for that matter.

Harry bolted up in his bed, with sweat pouring from him. Even though the dream he had wouldn't be considered a nightmare it had scared him nonetheless. Harry grabbed his glasses off the stand beside his bed and laid back. Lying on his back, and staring at the various cracks and spots where chunks of plaster had come loose, he tried to contemplate what the dream could have meant but nothing came to mind.

His mind started to wander away from the dream and headed back to the night in Dumbledore's office. The night that he found out that his mentor was a liar and a fake. "He used me like a pawn. I'll be damned if I allow him to continue using me like that. The prophecy may use me as a tool, but I wont allow others to use me any longer! I am going to do things my own bloody way from now on!"

Harry got off his bed and walked over to his desk. He quickly rummaged through the desk and found a muggle notebook and a pen. He pulled out the notebook and sat looking at it for a moment before he began to write down things that he needed to do.

"The first thing I have to do, is find out who is watching me. I can't allow the member that is watching me to know what I am planning."

Harry looked over the beginning of his list as he thought about what he had to do next. "After I find out who and when, then I have to plan a stealthy escape to Diagon Alley, or maybe even Knockturn Alley.

Once again Harry looked over his list knowing that the second one would not be an easy one to do, but he was sure that he could find someway of achieving it. "Once I manage to get to Diagon Alley then I need to go to Gringotts and get money for the rest of the things I will need."

Harry grinned at how easily he was figuring out all the things that he needed to do, but the problem would clearly be pulling it all off without getting caught. "Once I have money I will have to go to Flourish & Botts. I need to get as many books as I can to help me train for the war that is coming."

"After that I think I will stop off at Ollivander's and see about getting a second wand. Never know when you might need a spare."

"I should probably get some new clothes as well, and possible a trunk more like Moody's, since that could come in handy."

Harry's final list was as follows:

1. Determine which Order members are watching me and times that they change shifts.

2. Plan stealthy escape to Diagon/Knockturn Alley.

3. Get money out of my vault.

4. Buy books to learn as much as I can on my own.

5. Go see about a spare wand.

6. Get new muggle clothes and Wizarding clothes.

7. See about a new trunk like Moody's.

Harry looked over his list again, not sure if he had anything else to add, but he figured if he had more they could be added later. He got up, hid his notebook in the bottom of his trunk and then headed back over to his bed. It was still early in the morning, and there was no point in getting up, but still he didn't know if he should try to go back to sleep or not.

As he lay on his bed he starts to think about which types of books he really needed. "I really need to find a book on Occlumency and Legilimency. Since I may have to hide my mind from people like Dumbledore who know Legilimency. It would not serve me too well for them to know what I am up to, since it could foil all that I plan on doing."

Harry sat up again in his bed as he thought he heard something. He made his way over to the window and looked down to see what he heard, and it was a bit hard to see but then he saw that he had in fact heard a crack. Harry looked over at his clock and saw that it is was four in the morning. He looked back out of his window to see Alastor Moody or at least he thought it was moody by the way he walked. 'Moody must be replacing Remus.' Harry thought as he looked out the window for a moment more and then went back to his bed.

"I will definitely have to find out who is watching me and when, because I can't allow Moody to look in here and see me training." Harry said as he took off his glasses and tried to get a few more hours sleep.

Harry found that he was in Diagon Alley this time around and everything seemed fine to him. It was a nice sunny day and he was walking down the street without much to care about.

Just as he is about to enter into Flourish & Botts he hears numerous cracks around him. He turns just in time to see six Death Eaters aiming their wands at him. As he went to get his wand he finds that it isn't there.

Six killing curses come at him, and right as he is about to be hit by them someone jumps in front of him and gets hit by all six of them. Harry looked down and saw a woman with bubblegum pink hair lying dead at his feet. As he looked up again six more killing curses came streaking at him.

Harry sat up in bed once again with sweat pouring off of him. "NO!" Harry shouted and then, slowly he began to realize where he was. "Why would I have a dream where Tonks saved me?"

Harry grabbed his glasses off his bedside table and saw that he was only asleep for two hours, so he decided not to try and sleep again. He would just lay in bed and rest his eyes.
